La etimología tiene como objeto descubrir el origen de las palabras, es decir, llegar al "etimo", a la "verdad" del verbo. Contemplar una palabra desde su raíz más remota permite aprehender su significado primero. Así, consultar este Diccionario etimológico indoeuropeo de la lengua española da lugar a curiosas averiguaciones -por ejemplo, que trabajar significa "sufrir", o que sarcasmo viene de "sacar la sangre a uno"- que arrojan nuevas luces sobre términos cuyo significado creíamos conocer en su plenitud. Una de las grandes novedades de esta obra consiste en presentar las voces agrupadas en familias con un origen etimológico común, lo que permite comprobar de un vistazo los préstamos que el español ha tomado de otras lenguas: del germánico, términos bélicos; del francés, términos de artillería; del persa, textiles y colores, etc. Otra aportación notable consiste en incorporar las palabras españolas de origen árabe (lengua no indoeuropea) que éste ha heredado a su vez del persa, indio, griego y otras lenguas indoeuropeas. Confirmar el dinamismo de las palabras, de las lenguas y de las civilizaciones es, en definitiva, el fruto de este trabajo, "un berenjenal de mucha ciencia y sabiduría", como advierte Camilo José Cela en su prólogo.

Es uno de los mejores libros que he comprado jamás. Para mí es un estudio filológco nunca visto, muy serio y con un método muy útil. Está separado y ordenado según las raíces indoeuropeas de las que provienen todas las palabras del latín y germánico, y hasta incluye referencas en sánscrito. Es el libro perfecto para qualquier persona interesada en la etimología, los orígenes, evolución y relaciones entre los conceptos usados en el vocabulario actual. Muy recomendable, me llegó en menos de un día, y además, un chollazo por este precio!

C'era qualche esempio precedente (abbastanza raro, dato il tema) --> American Heritage, Oxford. Questo non ha nulla di meno, anzi introduce qualche radice "nuova". Sobrio nella trattazione ma molto chiaro: risulta, ripeto ancora – l'argomento è tosto – anche piacevole la lettura "casuale".
Bravi Bárbara e Edward. Consigliabile.

El libro llegó en perfecto estado y a tiempo. Es un diccionario etimológico tan exhaustivo, que la consulta es complicada. Vale mucho la pena para cualquier amante de la lingüística.
